The situation is more dire than you realise as the states are also in quite a bit of debt as well - over 150 billion and rising. So this will definitely happen however the government will not pay these bonds back - I propose that they will kill two birds with one stone and instead of repaying they will increase your pension indexed to the number of bonds that your personal super fund is holding. Not a great deal but desperate times..... I agree that the government will force super funds to hold government bonds.
